      Weekend shopping at Costco should come with combat pay. We go once or twice a month and try to go during the week!

        My Costco is a less busy one. Also, weekends have the best samples. My family treats it more as fun outing, so we aren’t usually trying to rush through anyway.

      I’m the same. I go through a dozen or so eggs a week, along with lots of rice and beans. These are all things I’ll only really buy at Costco anymore.

    We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don’t do it that often. They have a few things that we just won’t do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.

    About once a month. Used to time it with filling up the gas tank but now it’s just when we’re low on at least 3 bulk things.

    2-3 times a month, sometimes more. I don’t usually get gas there though, because the lines are always long and there are a couple gas stations near me that sell as cheap or cheaper, especially for the e15/unleaded 88 vs Costco’s regular unleaded 87.

      If it is mostly frozen or will be frozen (fresh) how many coolers do you bring on a trip like that?

      Costco frozen things are big to begin with!

    2-4 times a month. It’s the closest grocery store to my house and has 80% of what I regularly buy. Definitely saves money on things like potato chips and I like that there’s consistent prices on things like drinks. When I go to regular stores I have no idea if a 2 liter bottle is $2, 3, $4 that week based on what sale they’re having or not.

    Several times a month, haha. We live really close to a Costco (7-10 mins drive!) so we just pop over for only a couple things. The addiction is real.

    Okay Costco market analytics team. Surely you could just look up the receipt entries… Oh the most be a genuine question!

    Every 2 weeks for gas and a pizza/chicken+hotdog, once a month as a major trip for frozen lunches and fresh fruits.

    We’re about to get a Costco immediately next door to my place of business. I’m going to make myself sick on hotdogs.

      Costco should include statistics on the annual renewal letter. Things like trips per month, most frequent purchase, average spent never mind I don’t want to know that.
